234: Unlocking parental intelligence, the training we all need to become the leaders of today with Laurie Hollman, Ph.D.

Laurie Hollman, Ph.D. is a psychoanalyst with specialized clinical training in infant-parent, child, adolescent and adult psychotherapy, a unique practice that covers the life span. She is particularly adept at helping parents and children relate well together in today’s complex family environment. This sensibility helps each family member understand their own emotional experiences while simultaneously being receptive to others’ points of view.

Dr. Hollman’s training in infant-parent psychotherapy was done at the Anni Bergman Parent-Infant Training Program in NYC affiliated with the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research and the Contemporary Freudian Society. She has worked with adolescent mothers, battered women, mothers with autistic children,  alcoholic mothers and their babies.

She received specialized training in child and adolescent treatment at New York University. Her Ph.D. dissertation on nine-year-old girls culminated in a new finding and major contribution to the psychology of this age group focusing on troubling fantasies with which these children struggle. She was invited to join the faculty of New York University before graduating and taught clinical courses on listening to unconscious fantasies, child psychotherapy, and understanding the art work of children.GOAL: One of the goals that Laurie has is to get back to painting.
